"Terrorism suspects have been picked up at random and denied legal
rights. Allegations of torture by police are routine. Questions have
been raised about the "encounters" between police and terrorism
suspects. Suspects have been held for years as their court cases have
dragged on. Convictions have been few and far between.
Commissions set up to investigate particularly gory incidents of
religious violence have taken their time to produce reports. Few are
opened for public debate. The recommendations in these reports have
been routinely ignored or else implemented in a highly selective
manner. Muslims convicted in some cases have been punished while Hindus
have been let off lightly or not punished at all."
